Morphology

vision + defect

The meaning 'an error or flaw in a vision system' is directly compositional from 'vision' (the visual system or sight) + 'defect' (a flaw). This is a regular noun-noun combination whose sense — a defect affecting vision or a vision system — is predictable and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.

Etymology

Vision defect The same picture works for machines: imagine a camera 'eye' with a dirty lens or a small fault that makes objects look strange or wrong. So a 'vision defect' in computing means an 'error' that makes the system see things incorrectly.
